From Around The Block

Please don't mind
Please don't mind it
Please don't mind
Don't mind
Please don't
Please don't
Please don't mind
Don't mind it
Don't mind
As I
Please don't mind my scars
As I gaze from afar at the lovely man
Before my eyes

Who am I
I come before you humbly
Never thought
That you would want to know me
I sat
As you put me up high
Expecting only to be let down
Down
Even from up here
With you standing down there
Way down
On the ground
Can you hear

Can you hear the sound of my heart racing
I always dreamt of chasing your love
I asked God above for the chance
To make you my man
It was all I ever wanted
Don't you know I've been around
Around for a minute
And I know
Everything that glitters isn't gold
But I
Been on you
Boy since the beginning
So please be patient with me
Love me gently can't you see
That I am scarred

As I gaze from afar
From around the block
But I know that won't stop my heart
From pulling me in
Ever so closely
To you I never thought
That you would want to know me
In a million years
I shed a million tears
Watching you live your life
Picturing mine as your wife
A sweetened fantasy
Rich cream darkened by reality
Sweet dreams
As I fall into the night
Awoken by the light

Who would've thought that
The memories that I had of you
Would flow by in an instant
The beginning
Is all I could hold onto
All I could hold onto
As I'm surrounded by your shroud
I'm stuck within the clouds
As you elevate me
You lift me up
It's like I've been inflated
Filled with your love
But what if you must release me
If you truly love me
If there's nobody up above me
What would you do
If I could not stay with you

Cuz I'm not unbreakable
It was unbearable
All the pain on your face
Reflects mine
As though time rewinds in my life
I cry
But my tears will never reach you
You scream
But I could never hear you
You look to me
As I look at you
Even from afar
You still have my heart
But what remains
Is nothing but a name
My name

I'm nothing but a memory
And now you must forget me
Me
Me
Go and chase the love
The love that you deserve
I know it hurts
To love from afar
Forgive me
Forgive me
You know I'm scarred
I was scarred
I was scared
But baby now
There's nothing to be said
Because I'm
